EA owns the servers still, so they reserve the right to remove access to the servers according to their EULA. EA would be able to differentiate the difference between "new" and "used" by usage of the code ("new" = code redemption, "used" = download from Marketplace).
Well I have to respectfully disagree. First gamers get charged $60 for a new game, then if they choose the collector's edition of a game, it's usaully an extra $20-40 for some questionable extra content, then it's $5, $10, $15 or more for DLC, and now just because someone wants to save money by purchasing a used versus new copy of a game, they have to pay extra if they wanna play online?! Where does it stop? I know people have choices as to what they want to spend their money on, but this is just pure greed on EA's and Gamestop's part.
